IntroductionCurrently there is a significant gender gap in engineering and science. A recent article in theNew York Times reported1, even as women make significant headway in fields from law,business, chemistry, and biology, the doors to technology, one of the fastest-growing sectors ofthe economy, remains virtually closed to women. Just 5.7 percent of employed women in theUnited States work in the computer industry, and only about 2 percent of women have a degreein a high-tech field, according to Catalyst2, a prominent research firm studying women andbusiness.

suggests that influences beyond pre-college academic preparation and innate ability play a role in URM student success. Theseinfluences may include: academic isolation, social isolation, cultural isolation, negativestereotypes associated with ethnic identity, motivational vulnerability, financial insecurity, anddiscrimination [1, 2, 3, 4]. The academic, social and cultural isolation experienced by URMstudents reflects ineffective transition. While the transition from high school to college posesrisks for all students, there is significant evidence indicating that URM students who areotherwise academically prepared are particularly at risk at this leverage point [5, 6, 7].Historically, summer bridge programs were used to boost the scholastic skills

If our nation didn’t turn things around, the report said, the United States was ontrack to become a second rate power—both economically and militarily—and future generationswould not enjoy the prosperity and security that we have experienced over the last seventy years.Two recommendations from the report were: 1.

Aspects of the research that are accomplished so far include: 1) a multi-phase protocol that includes interviews, process mapping tasks, and think-aloud protocols, 2) a content analysis to determine typical innovation and discovery behaviors used in innovation in technical areas, and 3) a meta-synthesis of assessment methods used in engineering entrepreneurship. Based on the findings from these studies, we made recommendations that inform activities associated with the educational plan including classroom activities and assessment tools.

Literatureshows that this kind of increased understanding and examination of perspectives and frameworksis encouraged through problem-based learning because it offers students opportunities to examinetheir beliefs about knowledge in ways that lecture-based learning and narrow forms of problem-solving learning do not [1].

However, thearchitect is typically not on the construction site every day to ‘paint a picture’ for theconstruction team.
